Since most of these are dark, i will throw up a couple of lagers.Tona from nicaragua is one of my favorite lagers, very easy to drink and smooth.Lapin Kulta from Finland was also awesome, but i think its impossible to get in the US.some regular favories of mine.Shiner BockNewcastleI tried leinenkugels sunset wheat yesterday, and it is damn good and sweet.I havent had Samuel Smiths winter welcome ale lately, but it was good last time I had it.Maredsous 8Fat TireI still drink Bud Light frequently though.

In Fort Worth we have a Central Market and it has a phenomenal beer selection and you can mix and match six packs. I need to go again sometime soon. I live near the mexican side of town, but right down the street is a really good beer store also, I still have a lot of stuff to try there. Down the street is an awesome taco truck Thursday thru Sunday. I wont be caught dead eating at Taco Bell ever. Yo Quiero Taquerias y mucho cervezas.

Ales are fermented warm, not lagers.

Anyway, just got back from a Dogfish Head charity tasting in Scottsdale and man was it a good time. They had 21 of their beers on tap, almost everything they make, and the most they've had on tap outside their own brewpub. We had a hotel next to the bar, so we all got hammared on worldwide stouts (23% ABV), as well as their Johnny Rawton Pilsner and Shelter ale, which usually don't come to AZ. Returned home Sunday to a cold frosty keg of homebrewed Negra Modelo. Will have a Dogfish Head Aprihop clone (an apricot IPA) ready to drink tomorrow. Yum!

Ahhh! Leinekugel's Berry Weiss, my favorite breakfast beer! Great way to start your day, not something you'd want to down a whole six of but one or two on game day morning, not bad...

i completely agree, only i prefer leinekugel's sunset wheat. you are dead on about not wanting to down a whole sixer though.

A little over a year ago, my local convenient store was selling the regular leinekugels with the blue label for 2.99 a six pack and 11.99 a case (24 beers). At that price you can force yourself to drink more than you actually want. So I developed the taste for it. If you give those beers a heavy poor with a nice 1 - 1 1/2" head in a glass, it's delicious.

Very good beer, and like you said tastes great with pancakes and eggs.
